Are you able to provide me a service animal note for a university so i can keep my dog with me on campus?

Dr. exam, then note: Generally, doctors do not write work-excuse or school-excuse notes, or back-to-work or back-to-school notes, without an exam. That is because a doctor's note is his written, signed, professional opinion, on whether a patient can or cannot do a particular activity. An in-person exam gives confidence to the doctor's opinion. A highly-trained, truly certified service animal should be no problem.

No: This is a public information site where volunteer docs answer general health questions. We do not write notes or provide diagnosis and treatment. Such notes are legal documents that must stand up to review by court systems. Any doc providing such a note without a direct patient relationship with you would be subject to disciplinary action by the state medical board. Call yours & see if they will.
